Japan's Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko attended a ceremony on Friday marking the 90th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Paraguay. In his address at the event, the Crown Prince expressed deep appreciation for the contributions made by the Japanese community and successive generations of descendants to this South American country.
The event highlighted the long journey since the first Japanese immigrants arrived in Paraguay in 1936. Over nearly a century, the Japanese community has integrated deeply, playing an active role in Paraguay's economic, cultural, and social development.
The Crown Prince and Princess's visit not only underscores the bond between the two nations but also serves as an occasion to honor the efforts of the Japanese community in preserving their cultural identity while contributing to their new homeland. The Crown Prince's words of praise at the ceremony further reaffirmed the strong and enduring friendship between Japan and Paraguay.
